Recently I read somewhere abt new charges on sms alerts by HDFC bank

Recently I read somewhere abt charges on sms alerts

I duly protest on unreasonable charges unilaterally levied once we have opened an account with you. And when HDFC finds that we are stuck up with you.  

I feel like mobile portability RBI must now introduce norms for bank account portability so one can easily switch to other bank and does not get  sucked like milch cow. 

On one hand govt gives so much of freedom to banks , electric suppliers,milk suppliers  taxi, autos, PUC booths ( they started with Rs 20/ per vehicle few years back and now charging Rs 100/-) , pay and park ( started with Rs 3/- are now Rs 100/- per 3 hours) years    etc etc who  hike their charges as and when they like but old property landlords 
coming under rent act of 1950's are not allowed to even charge Rs 1 extra. 

 I am still getting Rs. 30 per month per room from my tenants who are happily paying for cable TV/ DTH Rs 450 per month, paying Rs 42 per liter of milk, paying Rs 250 per plate in a hotel, paying Rs 80 per litre of petrol but but same tenants represented by Murli Deora , Ad D C Mehta says are poor and can not afford increase in rent. And double standard courts and govt allows them. 

Sir, I will not tolerate in new charges on my account and as it is while u were charging 10% on LAS accounts as interest now u charge 14% +. All unilaterally. On these charges top bank officials thrive and make millions by making us poor. 

And poor landlord are not allowed to levy a single paisa. And they say equality??? Ad D C Mehta who was charging very low fee 20 years back  is now charging in  lacs but wants landlords to get peanuts. So be it banks , politicians , media or advocates all want to be rich at the cost of innocent citizens especially poor landlords... the shelter providers. 

.Thanks and Regards,

    Dear Satwant
    I think one of the effective way to control the corruption might be to make all people familiar with the working method of each department from the school days. As the open day concept is there in foreign.
    Regards

    Yes, you are right dude. We are all victims of double standards, but don't raise our voice when are on beneficial end. The stone age laws like rent control act, caste based reservations, public loot in the name of welfare in schemes like ESI, public distribution system, employment guarantee scheme etc. are the proofs of bankruptcy of ideas and are the launching pad for corruption. In stead of making up for the old follies they are introducing new ones, like intellectual properties rights. How are we going to fight against it? For it we will have to change the system of governance and start following the reason instead of following the benefits. Pl see 'How to remove corruption' at www.skalkat.com to see what else is needed to achieve a corruption free society.
